Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)

Assessing Risk, Protecting Trust. Identify, evaluate, and mitigate privacy risks before they impact your business.

Assessing Risk, Protecting Trust

As organizations adopt new technologies, platforms, or processes that handle personal data, regulators expect a careful evaluation of the risks involved. Under the GDPR (EU), conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is mandatory for high-risk processing activities. Other laws — such as HIPAA (U.S.), DPDP Act (India, 2023), CCPA/CPRA (California), and LGPD (Brazil) — recommend or require similar assessments.

A DPIA is not just a compliance checkbox — it’s a structured process to:

  • Identify privacy risks early
  • Recommend safeguards before issues arise
  • Build privacy by design into new initiatives
  • Demonstrate accountability to regulators and customers

By conducting DPIAs, your organization can innovate faster, safer, and with greater confidence.

Why DPIAs Matter

Mandatory under GDPR

Required for high-risk processing such as large-scale monitoring, sensitive data handling, or new technology implementations.

Regulator Expectation Globally

While not always mandatory, DPIAs demonstrate compliance under frameworks such as HIPAA, DPDP, CCPA, LGPD, and PDPA.

Risk Reduction

Prevent breaches, compliance failures, or misuse of personal data through early identification and mitigation of privacy risks.

Trust-Building

Customers and stakeholders gain confidence knowing that privacy risks are proactively assessed and managed.

Future-Proofing

DPIAs help organizations stay resilient and compliant as privacy regulations and technologies continue to evolve.

Our DPIA Approach

Structured, practical, and regulatory-aligned methodology for conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).

Risk Analysis of New Projects & Technologies

  • Assess how personal data will be collected, processed, stored, or shared in new initiatives.
  • Identify high-risk processing activities, including cross-border transfers or sensitive data handling.
  • Evaluate security vulnerabilities and operational dependencies.

Safeguard Recommendations

  • Suggest technical measures: encryption, access controls, pseudonymization, data minimization.
  • Suggest organizational measures: governance policies, training programs, vendor agreements.
  • Provide prioritized actions that balance compliance, cost, and practicality.

Regulatory Alignment

  • Ensure your DPIA meets expectations of GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, PDPA, and DPDP Act.
  • Apply privacy by design and privacy by default principles across your project lifecycle.
  • Align DPIA outcomes with certification standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001).

Documentation & Transparency

  • Produce clear DPIA reports that regulators expect to see.
  • Document decisions, risk mitigations, and compliance measures.
  • Provide leadership dashboards for visibility into privacy risks and mitigation status.
